Although the Harrison daughters look almost like twins, one was born on the right side of the blanket while the other was not. Rayne is tasked with drawing in a suitable husband for her sister, Garnet, but soon discovers her quarry is a kindred spirit from her past. When Rayne refuses to deceive Lord Finch any longer, her father makes good his threat to exile her overseas, to New York City. Although Rayne is determined to survive, she is quickly ensnared in a web of vice.

From the Inside Flap

The baron led Rayne off the dance floor. "Murphy has always been a boor and a bully. Pay him no heed."

"I shan't," she whispered into his ear. "He dances like a wounded buffalo."

Dell's eyes twinkled from behind his spectacles. "If you had ever heard him sing, you would say he sounds like a yodeling goat."

The image tickled Rayne so much, she couldn't stop giggling. Several people stared at her, but even their disapproval couldn't contain her mirth.

"You have a way with words, Lord Finch," she managed finally. "Thank you for your gallantry."

His expression as he met her gaze was softer than she'd seen before. "It's truly a pleasure."

Rayne's heart melted. "I hope Papa apologized for his rudeness?"

Dell nodded. "He did."

"I'm glad."

"So am I." Dell reached for her dance card and scribbled his name down a half dozen times.

She gave him a slow smile. "How scandalous."

Dell shrugged. "What's one more scandal among friends?"

She giggled. "It's nothing. Nothing at all."

In that moment, Rayne felt as if she could dance on the moon and the stars...and yet, her happiness was tinged by regret. She could never tell him her true identity--but she had a duty to warn him away from Garnet.

"Lord Finch, I don't know what Papa may have told you, but I must be perfectly forthright." She swallowed. "I'm spoiled, selfish, lazy, and a notorious flirt. I don't believe you can recommend me to any of your friends."

"Really?" A smile played with his lips. "In that case, I won't."

Her eyebrows drew together. "I'm serious, Lord Finch. Perhaps in a year or two, I might have learned my lesson. At the moment, however, I think it's safe to say I'm incorrigible."

"As bad as all that? You are not a very good flirt, I must say." Dell paused. "Unless you don't wish to flirt with someone like me."

"No, if I wished to flirt with anyone, it would be with you." As she realized what she'd just said, her cheekbones became inflamed. "Er...what I mean to say is, it's easier to be myself around someone who disapproves of me."

"Say no more. I shall continue to disapprove of you so that you may be yourself and enjoy the ball." He cocked his head. "May I escort you into dinner later on?"

Her heart seemed to leap in her chest. "I should like nothing better, sir."

An Historical Romance with a Timely Message

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

Like any excellent author, Suzanne Roger’s books can be enjoyed at avariety of levels. Her story lines are realistically set in nineteenth century England and “wholesome” in the sense of not being too graphic sexually as many historical romances seem to be. However, this does not mean that there does not exist underlying themes of social consciousness. In this book of the series, Rayne, like many of Ms. Roger’s characters, suffers hardships which, thankfully, are overcome in the end (even though you have to wait until the very end of the Book****spoiler alert***** to beabsolutely sure this does end happily.)

The young and innocent Rayne is the victim of harsh treatment by her father and is abandoned to her own devices in a strange country (NewYork). She is befriended by an apparently benevolent woman who turns out to be a/n (up-scale, but nonetheless) Madame of a brothel. Rayne knows she’s in trouble, but with no resources, she appears about to become a victim of unsavory exploitation. This may be upsetting to the reader who is sensitive to such a suggestion. However, female sexual exploitation historically has been very common around the World, including in the United States. This story line is very modern in that respect. There are victims everywhere. Talking about this, even though upsetting, is necessary if we are ever to slow this kind of barbarity in the world. I applaud Ms. Rogers for giving the more sophisticated reader this reminder that in this time of the hundredth anniversary of Women’s rights, women need to be aware of, protect and educate young women about all kinds of exploitation

Sweet romance with a feel of classic literature

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020

In Suzanne G. Rogers new novel in her Mannequin series. A Chance of Rain, both the hero Del and the heroine Rayne find themselves in dire circumstances.

Del feels he has even less choice and contemplates the unthinkable, until Rayne saves him. But time and life will veer them apart for a while

When Rayne's guardian dies, she learns she has nowhere to turn, but to a father she'd never known she had. But his wife rejects her, giving her only one choice, life as a chambermaid to her own half-sister--a precarious situation which ultimately leads her to a life on the streets in America--and more trouble than ever. Will Dell find her before her life and virtue are bartered away? You will have to read to find out.

Chance of Rayne is a sweet romance with a feel of classic literature that tugged on my sympathy for poor Rayne. I absolutely enjoyed this one, and recommend it if you enjoy the work of Dickens or even Jane Austen, and like good to triumph, don't miss this.

It was an interesting book but I really feel like it left things unsaid and unfinished as to why the Harrison family. The revenge was good but it should have finished up with Dell and his wive too That’s why a three star

Rained grew up as the ward of a piano teacher - only at her death would Rayne learn the name of her father. Turned out of the house she’d lived in all her life, she sold her hair to get money for a train ticket to London. There 14 year old Rayne meets her father for the first time. She is allowed to stay as a maid and dresser for her half sister, Garnet. So begins a life of drudgery, lies, deceit, and dislike. Her father and his wife actively dislike her and her sister takes advantage of the fact the look so much alike that she can force Rayne to take her place when she wishes. Ultimately, Rayne refuses to help deceive a Lord into courting Garnet and she is forced out on the street! Rayne manages to survive, make friends and to find her HEA! Great read!

Loved this book. First I've read in the series. Great regentcy romance without all the sex. Great characters and my toe of book where a woman survives in a society run by strict social constraints that favored men.

Joyful Reader

Another Gem from Suzanne Rogers!

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2020

I am a huge fan of Ms. Rogers’ romances, but I have to be careful not to read them in the evenings if I need to wake up early the next day. There is always a bit of adventure, a bit of suspense, and a lot of action, so once I get caught up in the tale, I can’t put it down. I always enjoy stories about strong women who think for themselves, and who appreciate intelligence and capability. Rayne suffers immensely at the hands of her father, stepmother, and others, and one can’t help but wish for the happiest of endings for her. The Victorian era settings on both sides of the Atlantic are nostalgic, while making us thankful for our modern conveniences.

Loved this book, love this series

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020

What a delight it is to have a new Mannequin book by Ms. Rogers. I don't know about anyone else, but at the best of times I like to read a good, happy ending romance book and with all the chaos currently going on around the world, I especially need to escape and Ms. Rogers provided that escape.

As others have said, Ms. Rogers provides romance without having to go into graphic sex and I appreciate that. These stories aren't prudish, they are romantic and entertaining. I suggest you read this entire series, I have enjoyed each one so much and look forward to the next.
